Cobb Tall Weighted Shift Knob — White — Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86
The Cobb Tall Weighted Shift Knob in White for the FT86 platform provides 825g of weighted inertia on the FA20/FA24 6MT. The weighted knob complements the FT86’s naturally short-throw gearbox with settled lever feel during the frequent, high-RPM gear changes these cars reward.

825g Weighted Knob on the FT86 Transmission
The Cobb Weighted Shift Knob uses additional mass — approximately 825 grams — compared to a standard factory or Delrin knob. The weight is distributed through a machined aluminum core with a Delrin outer shell. The extra mass provides two practical benefits: first, it reduces the perceived effort of each gear change by providing inertia that carries the lever through the shift gate; second, it keeps the lever settled between gear changes rather than vibrating or drifting with engine and road inputs. On a turbocharged Subaru with the engine’s characteristic vibrations, a weighted knob feels noticeably more planted and intentional than a lightweight one.
Tall Lever Position and FT86 6MT Fitment
The Cobb Weighted Knob is available in short and tall configurations. The short version sits at a similar height to the factory knob — the mass is concentrated lower on the lever. The tall version raises the knob position on the shaft, changing the shift lever mechanics: a longer moment arm requires slightly less force to move the lever, and the different hand position changes the ergonomics of the shift motion. Both configurations deliver the same 825g weight. Thread engagement is correct for Subaru and compatible manual transmission applications — the knob threads directly onto the factory or Cobb short throw shifter shaft without adapters.

Why Choose Cobb Tuning
Cobb Tuning has been developing performance software and hardware for turbocharged enthusiast vehicles since 1999. Founded in Austin, Texas, Cobb built its reputation on the Accessport and expanded into a full catalog of hardware engineered to complement it. Every OTS map is developed in-house on real vehicles, and every hardware product is validated as part of a complete system — not sourced and sold in isolation. That integrated approach is why Cobb produces consistent, reliable results across the builds we see every day.
The RallySport Take
The FT86 platform’s 6MT is one of the most satisfying naturally aspirated sports car gearboxes available. The Cobb weighted knob adds 825g of settled mass that makes every gear change feel deliberate and mechanical. The tall configuration raises the knob position for a different ergonomic feel.
